Why is the cast failing?

I’m trying to get the parent actor of my character to cast so I can get some variables to do stuff with and it won’t cast no matter what I seem to try. would love some help.

thank you for your time and have a great day.

Above the variables of the child BP click on the eye and show inherited. You don’t cast to parent as it is already a direct descendent of the parent. You already have those variables.

It still fails without the get parent actor or just a get player pawn
